Foes in War, Friends in Peace.

STAUNToN, Va, June 9.--The largest
crowd ever seen in Staunton assembled to-
day to witness the celebration of the Con-
federate Memorial Association. The chief
attraction was the presence of General W.
w. Averill of New York, the orator of the
occasion. After the parade, speaking took
place in the opera house which was crowd
ed to suffocation. In introducing General
Averill, Governor Lee referred to their long
acquaintance, beginning when both were
hOssoct West Point, and their subsequent
mands'on in the old army Their COM
during tad met face to face in battle
testify tie war, and he was prepared to
1,ther stat no Drawer men contended On
e.s,ourg, s.e than the troops commanded by
that sSilant officer whose warfare was
upon men and not upon helpless women
and children. In closing the governor re-
ferred to the obliteration of sectional lines
and the reunion of the people as shown by
the presence of a federal general joining
with southern veterans in honoring the
Confederate dead. Gen. Averill was
greeted with rousing cheers IS he topped
forward and from time to time during his
speech he was enthusiastically applauded
He spoke feelingly of the change of TWEEN
ty-five years.

rreparation Of Whi&awaah,

Whitewash Is one Of the most valuable
articles in the world when properly applied
It not only prevents the decay of wood,
but conduces greatly to the healthfulness
OF all buildings, whether Of wood or stone
Outbuildings and fences, when not painted,
should be supplied once or twice year with
good coat Of whitewash, which should
be prepared in the following way: Take
clean, water tight barrel, or other suitable
cask, and put into it half bushel of lime.
Stake it by pouring water over it boiling hot,
and in sufficient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly
slaked. When the shaking has been thoroughly
effected, dissolve in water and add two
pounds of sulphate Of zinc and one Of COM
mon salt; these will cause the wash to harden,
and prevent its cracking, which gives an
unseemly appearance to the work.
IT desirable, beautiful cream color may
be communicated to the above wash by add
ing three pounds of yellow ochre, or good
pear or lead color by the addition of lamp,
vine or ivory black. For fawn color, add
four pounds Of lumber, Turkish or American
ethe latter Is the cheapes1, one pound Of COM
mon lampblack. For common stone color,
add four pounds Of raw lumber and two
pounds of lampblack. This wash may be ap-
Piled with a common whitewash brush, and
viii be found much superior both in appear
ance and durability to the common white
wash.-Chicago News.

The Old Fashioned Saunders.

The old fashioned samplers that our
mothers and grandmothers worked when
they were children have been removed from
the garrets or old trunks where they have
lain and have been placed in the parlor or
library; in other words, they have become
fashionable and have been called forth with
antique furniture and brio brac. Who does
not remember theml First came the alpha
bet, then verse of so called poetry, then two
impossible green dogs and two green trees of
the Noah's ark variety, and the whole to con-
clude, as the advertisements say, with the
name and age Of the worker They are
rather pretty, these dogs, in their quaint and
attractive way, and certainly warning to
those not of an industrious turn of mind.
A friend who told me she possessed both her
grandmothers and mothers said: "But there
Is one reason why cannot use them about
the house." On being asked why, she replied:
"Oh, dear! all our births are recorded on the
samplers, the date worked with different
colored silks" That settled it; it was like
parading what is to some the most sacred
page in the family Bible, "the Births" but
those OF you who have inherited old samplers
that have no compromising dates, bring
them forth as a unique ornament.-Evelyn
Baker Harvier in New York Mail and Ex-
press.

Effect in Painted Lace

One of the happiest effects 1 ever saw in
painted lace was executed by New York
artist. He desired q curtain to shut off an
unsightly view, and one that should still
admit the light. SO be procured lace of the
kind that Is sometimes used for mosquito bars
OF greeni5h blue color upon which he pro
ceeded 70 paint an under the sea sketch-coral
reefs. merInaids, fish, sesweed, etc. The cur
tain was suspended from poles and hung al
most entirely plain from ceiling to floor. the
slight fullness admirably suggesting tie un
dulation OF the water
do not see why this idea should not be
utilized for portieres wherei it is desirable only
to half cut OF view of the adjoining room,
or for large screen to be used for the same
purpose. Gauze would answer for the foun
dation, and l am sure the effect would be
good. Let some original genius try it.-Phila

Women OF Historical Note.

Balzac says: @The most celebrated attach
rnents in history were all inspired by women
in whom the vulgar would have found some
defect. Cleopatra, Joanna Of Naples, Diana
OF Poitisrs. La Valliere, Nine Pompadour, in
short, most Of the women whom love has
rendered celebrated were not without imper-
fections and infirmities, while most women
whose beauty is described to US as perfect
have been finally unhappy in their loves.
This apparent caprice must have its cause.
Perhaps men live by sentiments more than
by pleasure; perhaps the charm, wholly
physical, Of a beautiful woman has its bounds.
While the charm, essentially moral, of a
woman Of moderate beauty is infinite.n

LITTLE ORIGINALITY.

They show but little evidence of originality
OF thought, though many of them have re-
celved fair rudimentary educations. The
majority OF the younger generation can read
ana write. There are, of course, some ex-
ceptlons to this rule, but these exceptions
prove 1t. They show as a rule no aptitude
Tor mechanical work, and though there are a
few good carpenters and other mechanics
among them the colored mans hands seem to
be clumsy with any skilled tool except the
razor and shaving brush. They have had
twenty-five years of freedom and especially
favorable opportunities to develop under this
new condition, with strenuously exacted and
willingly given civil rights of all kinds, and
yet the great mass of these people continue to
be laborers, BARRIERS, walters, servants, cooks
and washerwomen. Their slavery to SUPER
stltlons such as that of the night doctor. no
amount of education or reading seems to free
them from, and if their churches do not
directly encourage, they at least do not frown
down such disposition. 1t seems impossible
to eradicate it.
